Chapter 14

This Can’t Be Life

Alex received a call from an anonymous phone number and at first he didn’t answer. His phone rang again and this time he picked up. “Hello?”

“Hey, Alex.”

“Who is this?”

“This J.D.”

“I’ve been looking for you.”

“Look man, I know what I did to you was wrong.”

“You damn right it was wrong. I want my fuckin’ money, J.D., and if you ain’t talkin’ ‘bout my money, then get the fuck off my phone.”

“Alex, I didn’t want to do that to you man. Really I didn’t, but I was in a lot of debt. I had to make the money up or else.”

“J.D., you got my money or not? That’s all I need to know.”

“I’m working on it, man.”

“Call me back when the work is done and you got my bread, and I mean all of it.” Alex ended the call but his phone rang again. This time it was Joaquin.

“Hey.”

“Alex, watch the news in fifteen minutes.”

“For what?”

“Just watch the news. We will talk about it later.” Alex hung up with Joaquin and grabbed the remote. When he turned to the news he was instantly transfixed. He realized all that death Joaquin had warned him about was in full motion.

Not because he wanted Tierney back, but because he knew that if it wasn’t for him, she wouldn’t have ever met the man. He tried calling her scandalous ass, but the number wasn’t working. Right when Alex was about to try another number he had on her, he saw Joaquin was calling.

“The news is on,” Joaquin informed him for the second day in a row. Alex knew that meant there was more blood shed.

“We have breaking news. An entire family was murdered in Southeast Atlanta,” the news anchorwoman said. Alex sat and listened as the female correspondent described the house and a family that had been murdered in an upscale neighborhood. One of the neighbors said the family pretty much kept to themselves, the kids were nice, and the man of the house had described himself as a music executive. That same neighbor said that he had noticed a lot of expensive cars like Rolls Royces and Bentleys, but hadn’t been alarmed by it because cars like that were a common sight.

Alex shook his head thinking about Joaquin having the whole family wiped out. Though he didn’t know the murdered man he felt bad for the wife and the kids. He was about to power down his TV set when the anchor
